Minimum wage … it is $7.25/hour

In this post, skip the ideological debate over whether a large corporation should be forced to pay a certain minimum wage or not (the ideological debate is not the point of this blog post)….

What I don’t get is why some very successful corporations do pay only minimum wage. Why do they want to pay minimum wage? Yes, I know large corporations say to raise the minimum wage will kill jobs but I don’t buy that. A skilled executive at those giant corporations – like Walmart – can make it work.

If I led some successful large corporation, I would be ashamed to pay only minimum wage….how about you?
